The  submarine is the test bed but we will be using the same system for our  airships and spacecraft. The big risk is not too little oxygen but too  much. Too much O2 is a fire hazard. To keep that from happening we  directly measure the O2 levels. Also any cabin pressure increase would  indicate to increased O2 level (a drop in cabin pressure is a hints of a  problem with the carbon cycle).  Also the team will be standing by to  get me out.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be fun to breathing on air that we made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big test tomorrow.
